The Lime Microsystems evaluation platform and associated control software allows users to adjust the transceiver s uplink and downlink frequencies from 300 MHz to 3.8 GHz, with no gaps, and to set the on-chip channel filters to accommodate all cellular standards. With Agilent test equipment and the transceiver from Lime, customers can generate digital IQ signals using a pattern generator, convert these signals to RF, and analyze the RF signals with Agilent s Vector Signal Analyzer software on an Agilent Spectrum Analyzer or wideband oscilloscope.

This setup is supported by a set of Agilent software tools (including the company s Signal Studio), coupled with the Lime user interface, for optimizing the RF parameters on a given standard or frequency band.
